Well that's not really true.......if I want to learn something new, all I have to do is read a book, or search for something online. A lot of people have to actually work to earn money.
It's not just a matter of reading a book. You have to be able to understand what you're reading, put it in context, and apply it. It also takes more time than, say, putting in an eight-hour shift at the office.
And you say "work" like it's a bad thing...
